Daming Town Haiwang

Chapter 1357, The Great War in Vienna ([-])

"Boom~"

Facing the rejecting horse, the heroic knight rode his horse high and wanted to jump over it. However, the heavy armored cavalry was too heavy to jump high or far. They could only hit the rejecting horse severely.

Immediately, even the man and the horse made the sound of fracture, and fell heavily to the ground.

But they did not sacrifice in vain. Their impact slammed the solid refusal horse, and the other heavy armored cavalry who followed them could easily push the refusal horse away, and then moved towards them like a tide. Attack the Ottoman army through the gap.

Facing Rulin's long spears, they still didn't flinch in the slightest, and slammed into them fiercely.

The spears pierced heavily on their bodies, but did not pierce their armor, but knocked them off their horses and fell heavily.

But the powerful and terrifying impact of the heavy armored cavalry is definitely not for nothing. The dense formation of the Ottoman Empire was rushed away by the powerful heavy armored cavalry almost instantly.

The long cross sword shone with cold light, swung it high, and then fell heavily. Suddenly, the frontmost camp of the Ottoman Empire was overthrown by the people who were rushed.

Under the attack of the powerful heavy cavalry, the army was defeated. Sometimes these heavy cavalry didn't even need to wave the cross sword in their hands. They only needed to rely on the strong inertia and impact force to smash the defense of the Ottoman army to pieces. .

However, it has not been a year or two since the Ottoman Empire dealt with the Europeans. It has always been able to suppress the European knights. Obviously, they also have their own methods to deal with the heavy cavalry.

A large number of thick shields form a shield wall, forming a large number of passages, and these heavily armored knights and horses instinctively rush towards places that are not blocked.

Once in these places, the Ottoman soldiers began to use spears, hooks, tripping ropes, nooses, etc. to stare at the horses of the heavy cavalry.

The horse needs to charge, and even though it has armor, after all, there is no way to protect the horse's legs from all kinds of attacks from the ground.

The horses of the heavy armored cavalry suffered disaster immediately. Horses with horseshoes and legs were injured one after another, and they fell to the ground heavily. Just this one blow was enough to kill these heavy armored knights. , even if you don't die, you will be broken and injured.

Even if he was not injured, the heavily armored knight who fell off his horse would soon be killed by the intensive attacks around him.

In addition, the Ottoman Empire's heavy armored cavalry Timar Sipasi and Kapikulu Guards Cavalry Regiment were also dispatched. These two cavalry were heavy cavalry composed of Turkic tribes in the Ottoman Empire.

They have inherited the tradition of heavy cavalry in Central Asia and West Asia. They wear heavy armor, are skilled in arching horses, and are good at using armor-piercing weapons such as war hammers, sharp axes, and maces. They have always been the nightmare of European heavy cavalry.

The only fly in the ointment is that the explosive power and sprint power of these heavy armored cavalry are relatively lacking compared to European heavy armored cavalry. This is why the Ottoman Empire army did not use its own heavy armored cavalry to attack, but chose to wait for European heavy armored cavalry They attack.

Two kinds of powerful heavy armored cavalry collided fiercely, the collision of strength and strength, the collision of armor and armor, all of a sudden, sparks flew everywhere.

"Bang~"

However, the crosses in the hands of the European heavy cavalry cannot cut through the armor of the Ottoman heavy cavalry, but the heavy hammers, sharp axes, maces, etc. in their hands can cause huge damage to the European heavy cavalry.

Armor can prevent stabbing, cutting, and slashing with sharp weapons, but it has no good effect on the defense of heavy weapons. Under the powerful heavy hammer, European heavy armor knights were hammered off their horses one after another. Under the cleavage, the armor was broken, revealing the terrified knights, and under the mace, the bones of the brave knights were smashed to pieces.

Facts have proved that although the heavy cavalry is powerful, it is not invincible. Under a series of operations by the Ottoman army, the trump card in the hands of the Europeans was firmly blocked and fell into a tragic killing.

"woooo~"

However, the Europeans are obviously prepared for this, accompanied by bursts of howling.

On the two wings of the European coalition forces, the light cavalry began to attack at an accelerated speed. These knights wearing leather armor or not wearing any armor at all, they are extremely brave, the spirit of knights pierces the sky, and the cross flags are constantly flying towards Ottoman The imperial army attacked fiercely.

At the same time, in the back, there is also a large number of cannons concentrated on the European connection side. There are cannons made by the Europeans themselves, and there are also cannons purchased from the Ming people. The number is as many as several thousand.

"Fire~"

With an order, billowing smoke rose, deafening artillery fire rang through the sky, and countless shells roared in the sky, smashing towards the Ottoman army.

All of a sudden, there were a lot of casualties on the huge army formation of the Ottoman Empire, and at the same time, the formation was also chaotic. After all, when a shell fell, people would be smashed to pieces. Bring out a set of blood.

Accompanied by the artillery attack, the infantry of the European Allied Forces also began to attack. Some of the infantry carried muskets, and some directly carried long spears, forming a Macedonian phalanx. With the sound of drums, they marched neatly towards the Ottoman Empire. The army attacked the past.

In the middle area, there are archers and shieldmen connected to Europe. Among them are the most famous archers in Europe, the English longbow archers, each holding a huge longbow, and the arrows they use are also very long. Stepping on proud steps, following the rhythm of war drums, they attacked the Ottoman army.

The Ottoman army was also not to be outdone, and the Sipasi cavalry on both wings also began to mobilize, point to point, point to point, and did not encourage the Europeans at all.

These Sipasi cavalry, armed with scimitars, were like howling wolves, constantly howling, desperately urging their horses, and the speed was getting faster and faster, like a raging wave.

At the same time, the infantry phalanx of the Ottoman Empire also began to attack forward, with spears like a forest, followed by archers and musketeers, and the intensive artillery fire also launched a counterattack.

The war between the two sides soon entered into a fierce stage. All kinds of powerful arms were thrown into the war one after another. The central army and the two wings also quickly contacted each other, and a brutal fight began.

"kill!"

"Kill all these heretics, ravage their women, and sell their children as slaves to the Ming people."

The green crescent flag fluttered, and the soldiers of the Ottoman Empire let out bursts of roars.

The military system of the Ottoman Empire is very similar to the military merit system of the Qin Dynasty, so the soldiers of the Ottoman Empire are extremely brave in battle. As long as they make contributions on the battlefield, land, wealth, women, and slaves are not a problem. With credit, you can quickly get free, and even become a nobleman of the Ottoman Empire.

Under such a system, the soldiers of the Ottoman Empire were extremely eager for war, fought bravely, and were extremely brave. This is also an important reason why the Ottoman Empire was able to sweep the Quartet.

"Kill all these heretics~"

"Defend our land and faith~"

"God is with us!"

The soldiers of the European Allied Forces were also roaring.

Although in comparison, they do not have the exhausting military merit system, but for the Christian world, faith is very important, especially at this moment, Europe has not yet emerged from the shadow of the Middle Ages, and the influence of the church is very large , Faith is something they are born with.

The invasion of the Ottoman Empire made European countries face a huge crisis. The Pope's call and the power of faith made these Europeans full of strength.

The cross swords, cross shields, cross flags, cross necklaces, and crosses painted on their faces seemed to be an endless source of power, filling them with the desire to fight.

The fight between the two sides was extremely tragic, with flesh and blood flying everywhere. In a very short period of time, a large number of casualties appeared, and the blood continued to gather, forming small dark red puddles. Converged into streams, and finally converged into a small river.

The black soil was stained red with blood, and then flew up by the horseshoes. The vultures in the sky honked excitedly, gathering more and more, and circling continuously.

The miserable and painful wails, the mournful cries of war horses, the clash of iron tools, and the rumbling drums and gunfire all interweave this tragic picture.

The strength between the two sides is almost evenly matched. For a while, no one can do anything to the other, and it is difficult to tell the winner.

What really determines the outcome is the power retained by each side and the bomb in their hands, but neither side is in a hurry to invest, but is waiting, waiting for a suitable opportunity and timing.

"The Europeans and the Ottoman Empire have almost reached their peak in terms of cold weapons. If we don't rely on powerful muskets, if we want to defeat them, we will have to pay a heavy price!"

On a hill outside the battlefield, Deng Yong and Xiong Han rode horses and watched the entire tragic battlefield with binoculars. It has to be admitted that Europeans and Ottomans have reached their peak in the cold weapon era.

Whether it is cavalry, infantry, or archers, Europeans and Ottomans are very powerful, powerful heavy cavalry, swift light cavalry, and powerful infantry, these are very powerful and terrifying.

If the Ming army hadn’t carried out military reforms, it would have been difficult to win against such a powerful opponent to be honest. After the military reforms, they also focused on firearms. If they really use cold weapons to defeat the opponent, I’m afraid they will have to pay a heavy price. .

"Yeah, so neither of them has joined the Musketeers yet, so they are obviously using them as trump cards!"

Xiong Han nodded solemnly, looking at the rear of both sides, the musketeers began to move.

　In history, the Ottoman Empire was really strong, fighting against the whole of Europe alone~
